How do you recognize when your child is struggling? | Akili Pod

Social media is shaping our children in ways we never experienced and sometimes, the signs that it’s affecting them aren’t obvious. From sudden mood changes, withdrawal, and irritability to obsessing over likes, followers, or online validation, many kids struggle silently. What looks like “normal teen behavior” can sometimes be a cry for help. The pressure to fit in, compare, and keep up online can quietly take a toll on a child’s self-worth and mental health. In this episode, we unpack the signs parents should look out for when something isn’t okay, how social media can influence a child’s emotions and behavior, and how different parenting styles can either help or worsen the situation.
